Re: Prescribed CPAP settings setup for replacement machine
I will look into monitoring now. How does that work? I thought it needs to be done by professional, but it doesn't seem to be the case, correct? If you require compliance for insurance or licensing purposes, then professional monitoring may be an issue. But for most of us it's quite easy to do it y...

Re: Prescribed CPAP settings setup for replacement machine
G'day always-tired, welcome to the forum. You don't need to rely on a provider to set up the machine for you - it is an easy DIY setting. See here: https://www.apneaboard.com/resmed-airsense-11-setup-info To get the best out of the machine, get hold of the clinical manual, available from Apnea Board...

It was quite disturbing to see the amount of degraded foam actually inside the impellor housing.vandownbytheriver wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 2:50 pmUncle Nick has a video out today:

Re: Apria or Lincare
Almost 10 years and only cosmetic? How do you know that the fan and the motor is less powerful? This is not a technology that moves very fast. All the algorithms are pretty well understood and have been for a few years. In terms of the motor in the AS11 series, various people have pulled them apart...

Re: DeVilbiss stops making sleep apnea devices
Seems like I'm special too...
I vaguely recall DeVilbiss announcing quite a long time ago that they were exiting the sleep device market.

Many thanks Red.
Apart from AVG anti-virus playing silly buggers (easily fixed) it downloaded and installed nicely.

Re: Apria or Lincare
No the air curve 11 is a BiPAP. I never use it CPAP. So is the AirCurve 10. The 10 is a solidly built, highly reliable product that has been around for years. The 11 is a cosmetic upgrade and a functional downgrade (ie smaller / cheaper motor & fan), but the bilevel models have only been on the mar...

Re: Help for the clueless
Obviously the leaks are the main concern right now, and other factors really only come into play once the leaks are under control. You can ignore the flow limitations - Resmed ASV machines report limitations differently from other types. From the Apnea Board wiki: Flow limitation is a common charact...

Re: Can a CPAP machine truly revolutionize life?
Everybody responds differently. In my case, CPAP treatment (actually ASV):
- Stopped me falling asleep in the car on my way to work
- Stopped me falling asleep during work meetings
- Completely cured my heart palpitations.

Re: is the myair app accurate
The machine will give you a red frowny face if your leaks exceed 24 L/min for 70% of the time or more. Below that you'll get a green smiley. However, this is a ludicrously low bar to set. In this case (only) the data from MyAir is more "correct" than relying on the smiley face on the machine.

Re: Resmed airsense 10 takes a break at end of breath
G'day BlackBags, welcome to the forum. It sounds like the EPR (expiratory pressure relief) isn't properly synching with your breathing. If you have EPR turned on, it reduces pressure slightly as you exhale. It then increases it again as you inhale. The available settings are 0 (off), 1, 2 or 3 - whe...

Re: Resmed Airsense 10- EXTRA Large Water Tank
If you have a really big bedside table, you can use an external tank such as the CSpring. Personally I find the existing Resmed tank is just big enough.

Re: ResMed AutoSense 11 Date Range Help needed!
I think your options are pretty limited on MyAir. As an alternative, you could try either Oscar or SleepHQ (links in my signature). Both of these let you view trend data, and you can set a custom date range. Whether your doc will accept either of these is, of course, unknown until you ask. He/she mi...
